Regardless of your taste for fashion, you really can’t go wrong with a leather waist coat. This stylish garment offers the traditional look of a vest but with the high-quality feeling of genuine leather. While waist coats are available in countless different fabrics, leather is the preferred choice among many men and women, and for good reason: it’s soft, comfortable, luxurious, easy to maintain, durable, and it looks great. But if you’re thinking about buying a leather waist coat, there are a few things you should consider. Single-Breasted or Double-Breasted Do you want a single-breasted or double-breasted leather waist coat? Much like suit jackets and coats are available in both single-breasted and double-breasted styles, so are leather waist coats. A single-breasted waist coat features a single column of buttons as well as a narrow overlap of fabric. In comparison, a double-breasted waist coat features two columns of buttons and with a much wider overlap of fabric. You’ll also notice that single-breasted leather waist coats generally have fewer buttons than their double-breasted counterpart. Either way, this is something you’ll need to consider when shopping for a leather waist coat. Genuine or Faux Leather Something else to consider is whether to choose genuine or fake/faux leather. While the latter typically costs less, this is one instance in which the saying “you get what you pay for” holds true. Rather than trying to save a couple bucks by purchasing a faux leather waist coat, it’s recommended that you choose genuine leather. Faux leather lacks the attractive characteristics and qualities that make genuine leather such a prized material. Furthermore, faux leather often has...

Congratulations on your decision to buy a leather jacket. It’s a smart investment that will pay off in the long run. With a leather jacket, you can enhance your physical appearance while instilling greater self-confidence in yourself. Of course, leather jackets are also super-comfortable, which is another reason why they are the preferred choice of outwear among countless men and women. But if you want to keep your leather jacket looking new, there are a few things you should know. For some helpful tips and tricks on how to maintain and preserve the original look of a genuine leather jacket, keep reading. Choose Genuine Leather Just because a jacket “looks” like it’s made of leather doesn’t necessarily mean that it is. In an attempt to cut corners and increase profits, many retail stores sell cheap jackets made of fake leather. Also known as “faux” leather, it shares similar characteristics to genuine leather in terms of appearance. Faux leather maintains a similar shiny appearance, a similar texture, and even a similar composition. However, there’s simply no comparison to the real deal. The problem — well, one of the problems — with faux leather is that it smells like chemicals, whereas real leather has a naturally distinct and pleasing odor. Faux leather jackets are also more likely to degrade over time, so if you want to keep your jacket looking new, stick with the real deal. You can expect to pay more for a genuine leather jacket, but most people will agree that it’s well worth the cost. Don’t Wash it in the Washing Machine Assuming your jacket is made of...

Leather clothes, garments and accessories have been around for centuries. In comparison, many other fabrics are relatively new, first appearing just a few decades ago. This leaves many people asking the question why: why hasn’t leather faded in popularity over the years?

Well, this hasn’t happened, nor is expected to happen. Keep reading to learn a few of undeniable reasons why leather won’t go out of style. Easy to Maintain Aside from the occasional application of a leather conditioning product (e.g. Saddle Soap), there’s really nothing else you have to do to maintain a leather jacket or garment. Leather is classified as a low-maintenance textile, making it an excellent choice for men and women who are constantly on the go. If you have little-to-no free time to devote towards caring for your jackets or clothes, perhaps leather is right choice. Of course, this is just one of the many reasons why leather won’t go out of style. Looks Better with Age No, that’s not a typo. Most leather experts will agree that leather looks better as it ages. Over time, leather will gradually become lighter, creating a unique vintage appearance that’s simply not found in new products. Some companies attempt to mimic the appearance of aged leather with synthetic materials like faux leather, but ultimately they fall short of achieving the real deal. If you want to reap the benefits of a unique vintage look, you should stick with real,...
